Description

Imagine sinking your teeth into a chewy, satisfying bar packed with wholesome goodness. These protein bars are a symphony of textures and flavors, beginning with a hearty base of nuts and seeds. The nutty foundation is enhanced by a subtle, creamy undertone of peanut butter, lending a comforting familiarity to each bite.

A delicate touch of sweetness balances the savory notes, creating a truly harmonious experience for your palate. Visually, the bars are just as appealing, finished with an elegant drizzle of rich chocolate that hints at the indulgence within. Each bar is carefully crafted with a blend of almonds, flax seeds, and pumpkin seeds, ensuring a powerhouse of nutrients in every serving.

These ingredients work together to deliver a satisfying dose of protein, essential healthy fats, and minimal carbohydrates, making them a smart choice for a variety of dietary preferences. The inclusion of coconut oil and almond butter further enriches the bars with beneficial fats, contributing to their overall richness and satiety. Beyond their macronutrient profile, these bars are also a treasure trove of essential vitamins and minerals, thanks to the natural goodness of nuts, seeds, and nut butter.

Whether you're looking for a sustaining boost of energy to kickstart your morning, a pre-workout snack to fuel your activity, or a post-exercise recovery treat to replenish your body, these protein bars are a versatile and convenient option. They also serve as a guilt-free snack to keep you satisfied between meals. The bars contain protein derived from pea, offering a plant-based source of this essential macronutrient with a minimal carbohydrate impact.

This protein, sourced from pea fibers, contributes to both the protein content and the overall fiber, supporting digestive health and promoting a feeling of fullness. Pumpkin seeds, also known as pepitas, add a delightful crunch and a wealth of micronutrients. These tiny seeds are packed with iron, zinc, and magnesium, offering a nutritional boost that goes beyond their satisfying texture.

They also contribute a good amount of protein and healthy fats. Almonds provide a substantial source of healthy fats and magnesium, an important mineral for managing stress and maintaining healthy blood pressure levels. The B vitamins found in almonds play a crucial role in nutrient transport throughout the body, ensuring that you're getting the most out of every ingredient.

Instructions

    1.
    Combine slivered or chopped almonds with flaxseed and pumpkin seeds. Toast them in a skillet over low heat until fragrant, about 60-90 seconds.
    2.
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted nuts and seeds. Melt coconut oil in the microwave, then stir it into the warm nuts. Add almond butter, peanut butter, honey, and salt to the bowl and mix thoroughly while the nuts are still warm.
    3.
    Incorporate liquid stevia, vanilla extract, and pea protein powder into the granola mixture. Line a 7x5 rectangular dish with parchment paper, then pour the granola mixture into the dish. Use a spatula to evenly spread the mixture into all corners.
    4.
    Freeze the granola for at least 30 minutes, or until firm. Create a double boiler to melt chocolate chips with coconut oil (approximately 120 chocolate chips = 1 ounce). Consider doubling the chocolate and coconut oil to prevent burning.
    5.
    Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together in the double boiler to create a chocolate sauce. Remove the chocolate from the heat and stir to cool slightly. Drizzle the warm chocolate over the frozen granola.
    6.
    Return the granola to the freezer for 10-15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set. Use the parchment paper to lift the granola out of the dish. Slice the granola into bars and enjoy. Keep chilled.
